Overview
The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre is a majestic, 6,000-person waterfront venue, recognized as one of the top 100 concert venues in the world. A cultural jewel, it is a destination of choice for major recording artists and entertainment superstars from around the world. Located along the shore of the Detroit River, The Aretha is situated on an international border between the U.S. and Canada which is considered one of the busiest waterways in the world. Formerly known as Chene Park Amphitheatre, it was rebranded in 2019 to honor Detroit’s own music icon Aretha Franklin.
With a who’s who of world-class artists on its stage, for summer fun The Aretha is one of Detroit’s best outdoor concert venues for live music. The breadth and diversity of its envied programming reflect the region’s multi-cultural spectrum and cosmopolitan spirit. In 2021, a major capital improvement campaign began, with additional enhancements done in 2022 including new LED screens, 3 prominently placed facing Canada and the Detroit River. Boaters regularly gather on this international waterway to soak up the sounds. There’s truly no better entertainment venue destination in Detroit than on the beautiful banks of the Detroit River, at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre.
